LCBO Vintages Release of August 1, 2009: reviews

WORLD WINE WATCH (VINTAGES TIP SHEET) FOR AUGUST 1, 2009^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^By DEAN TUDOR, Gothic Epicures Writing <deantudor@deantudor.com>Always at www.deantudor.com since 1995. Also visit my "Wines, Beers and Spirits of the Net Compendium", a guide to thousands of news items and RSS feeds, plus references to wines, beers and spirits. My tastings are based on MVC (Modal Varietal Character); ratings are QPR (Quality-to-Price Ratio). Prices are LCBO retail. Only my top rated wines are here. NOTE: The LCBO does NOT put out all of the wines of the release for wine writers or product consultants. Also, some defective or corked wines are not available for re-tasting.
